Just how awful is San Francisco? Conservatives routinely deride the city for its politics, and especially for its most prominent elected official, Nancy Pelosi. However, a new report from the local NBC affiliate underscores how objectively awful the city has become. In the words of one expert who consulted on the city’s maintenance, its core areas rank worse in terms of public health than in third-world cities:

Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy. Nancy Pelosi: Intent? How did you establish that?Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.

I still haven't seen a good "solution" to homelessness in SF or anywhere else. I know homeless people are drawn to places with better weather. Cities can arrest them for leaving needles and poop, loitering, etc. But they can't just _make_ the people leave or ship them out of town. I don't know where these people are supposed to go.
